Michael Vick Indicted for dog fighting

You make no sense kid. Vick has mountains of evidence, like TRW says, not to mention anything involving pro sports in Gambling = expulsion, not to mention the bigger picture of racketeering. He essentially funded an illegal and immoral gambling ring.

God forbid you have to kill someone to be banned from professional sports

I have no argument for Leonard Little, hes a piece of shit, but was he convicted of manslaughter or homocide?

Anyways, first off CALM DOWN, secondly, why cant they BOTH be banned?

Seriously, defending Vick makes you look awful

Was it a Manslaughter or Homocide? Can you answer that while you are on your soap box?

Let me speak slowly for you too:

When you mix gambling in ANY professional sports ( Shoeless Joe, Pete Rose etc) you are banned, it compromises the integrity of the game, and causes millions of dollars in losses.

To me, what Vick did is little different than illegal street racing. In both instances, the possibility exists that you will suffer destruction of personal property. And whether people like to acknowledge it or not, that's what pets are: personal property. Don't take my word for it, just check out www.animallaw.info.

Now, if Vick were street racing, with all the gambling aspects included, do you think there would be this kind of outrage? No, of course not. And likewise, there was next to no attention paid to someone that did jail time (while in the league) for killing another human being. He wasn't barred for life. Indeed, as far as I know, Little wasn't even suspended from the league. To the best of my knowledge he pled guilty to Vehicular Homicide instead of going to trial and served a whole 90 days with four years probation and community service.

To my mind, anyone ranting about how Vick should do the max and he should be trapped in a pit with dogs and all that garbage are the ones who look awful. He destroyed personal property. How that became a crime worse than killing a person is beyond me.

Really? Well, damn, I guess the entire Braves clubhouse is going to be banned then, considering they all had a pool going for the NCAA Tournament. Smoltz, Maddux and Glavine are definitely screwed, as they used to make friendly wagers on the golf course. Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley, both notorious gamblers even during their time in the NBA, will never be allowed into the Hall of Fame after stories of their poker games get out, huh? Wow... every sport is totally ed now.

Vick didn't bet on Football. He didn't even bet on a legal sport at all. So, would you like to take a stab at attempting to explain how that would have any affect whatsoever on the National Football League?

I've read various reports, some say he pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide and others say vehicular manslaughter. Either way he copped a plea, just like Vick and the fact of the matter is that a 47 year old wife and mother is in the ground because a football player was driving drunk, served 90 days in a work house and that was the worst of his sentence.

His actions directly led to the loss of human life. Was he thrown out of the league? No. In fact, he signed a new contract and even got to play in the Super Bowl.

In the meantime, people want to crucify Michael Vick because of some dead animals. The media is pretty much only mentioning the gambling as an afterthought, if at all and instead they're focusing on the cruel deaths of dogs and people are, by and large, drawing their conclusions on that basis alone. It's not that Vick was gambling, it's that, in their mind, he had Fido and Spot going at it UFC style. That's what people are basing their hate on. Again, I believe that if Vick and his boys had been betting on illegal street racing, nobody would care, even if a couple of the drivers had died. After all, death associated with automobiles clearly isn't a big deal to the NFL.

I'm no PETA member. But, I do know this. If you were trying to kill my dog, I would kill you without hesitation. And as Ralpho said, a lot of our justice system is based on intent. Little, as much of a douchebag as he is, didn't intend to kill that lady. However, Vick, organized, funded, and was essentially the mastermind behind tons of illegal activity. There is a difference in being punished for a mistake, and being punished for intentionally breaking the law over a several year period of time.

They are saying his plea won't contain gambling or the dog killing.

That's ing bullshit. If he was a regular person, he wouldn't get a plea, he would be charged with gambling and the killings. the justice system.
